OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you know what \(\large cos^{-1}(\frac{-1}{2}) \) means?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

isnt the same as 2pi/3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how about the second term???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no i do not

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\(\large y=cot^{-1}(\frac{\sqrt3}{3}) \rightarrow coty=\frac{\sqrt3}{3} \)... Well... let's simplify that....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

pi/4?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\(\large coty=\frac{\sqrt3}{3} \rightarrow tany=\frac{3}{\sqrt3}=\sqrt3 \)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you use the unit circle?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):
